‘Migrant president’: Mexico says Biden asylum policies boost illegals, cartels
The Mexican government is concerned that Biden’s policies are encouraging illegal immigration and providing revenue to drug cartels through human trafficking across the US border.
Many of the illegal immigrants come from countries such as Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala seeking asylum in the US.
“They see him as the migrant president, and so many feel they’re going to reach the United States,” Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said.
Internal assessments reviewed by Reuters — based on testimony and intelligence gathering — state that Mexican gangs have been growing their clientele and keeping tabs on US measures that encourage illegal immigration. Additionally they have developed a new tracking system to move illegal immigrants across the US-Mexico border.
